Do you want to know just how unequal your neighborhood is? Now you can gauge that income inequality, because 2010 census data from the 818 largest counties around the United States has been logged, graphed, and posted in a handy chart on Pro Publica. On the most unequal side, you have New York County, NY, and San Juan Municipio, Puerto Rico. Least unequal are Loudoun Country, Va., and Barrow Country, Ga. Click the link, and you can search by postal code or address for any location.

The only way Loudoun County is one of the most equal counties in the US is if they didn't include the entire eastern side of the county. The past 10 years has not been pretty for the south side of eastern Loudoun. Rest of the county is pretty stinkin' rich though.

This is a piss poor graph. For equality it tells us that in a given county either most people are poor or most are rich.....I think. And I make my living partly with graphs. The more I looked at it the more confused I got.

Loudon County be equal(ish) because of its great wealth...never seen so many named estates in my life.
